Human Systems Integration: A Review of Concepts, Applications, Challenges, and Benefits

Abstract

This paper provides a review of the concepts, applications, and challenges of Human Systems Integration (HSI). HSI is a multidisciplinary field that aims to optimize the performance of human-machine systems by considering the characteristics and capabilities of both human operators and technological systems. The review begins with a discussion of the fundamental concepts of HSI, including human factors engineering, human-computer interaction, and cognitive engineering. It then examines the application of HSI in specific domains such as aviation, transportation, and medicine. The paper concludes by discussing the challenges and future directions of HSI research. The paper highlights the importance of considering the cognitive and affective aspects of human operators in the design of systems and the challenges related to the integration of multiple systems and the consideration of social and organizational factors.

Keywords: Human Systems Integration, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Transportation, Benefits, Challenges.
